Lemon Grove San Diego Information and Highlights

A city with unique historical roots, Lemon Grove still exhibits community pride and spirit in our modern era, boasting about having the "Best Climate on Earth," its motto for more than 100 years.

There is a ten-foot-wide sculpture of a lemon located at 3361 Main Street. It lies before a small lemon grove beside the Orange Line Trolley tracks near the local Trolley station and downtown bus stop. Written across the base of this monument are the words "Best Climate On Earth."

History

The community was settled in 1869 by its first known permanent resident, sheep rancher Robert Allison. From the 1860s to 1900, the area was known for sheep and poultry ranching as well as vegetable crops. In the early 1900s, the community acquired its name when large citrus groves were planted, and lemon and orange growing and shipping became the area's major industry.

The Lemon Grove Incident in 1931 was a boycott of segregated schools by Mexican Americans, resulting in the first court-ordered school desegregation in the United States.

By World War II, most of the citrus groves had disappeared and suburbanization had begun. By 1960, most of the easily developable land was gone. Lemon Grove was incorporated as a general law city in 1977; however, it continues to receive law enforcement services, via contract, from the San Diego County sheriff's office.
